You must configure the appropriate network parameters to use your printer in a wireless network. To do this, you can use both control panel and SyncThru Web Service, an embedded web site of your printer. This section gives you basic information on 802.11b/g network parameters which can be configured from the control panel.

You can retrieve basic settings by selecting a wireless network or manually configure them as you need.

If you do not know about your wireless environment, please ask the network administrator.

Wizard mode

1.The wireless network interface card on your machine searches for wireless network in the area and shows the results.

2.Press the left/right arrow to select a network you want to use in Search List and press OK.

3.When WLAN Security None appears on the display, press OK to save your selection. go to step 6.

If you see another messages, go on to the next step.

•In case of WEP, Press the left/right arrow to selcet Open System or SharedKey.

-Open System: Authentication is not used, and Encryption may or may not be used, depending on the need for data security. Enter the WEP Key using alphanumeric after selecting Open System.

-SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper WEP Key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using alphanumeric after selecting SharedKey.

Key	HEXADECIMAL FORMAT	ASCII FORMAT
64-bit WEP	10 digits (0 ~9, A~F)	5 Alphanumeric
		characters
128-bit WEP	26 digits (0 ~9, A~F)	13 Alphanumeric
		characters

•In case of WPA, Enter the WPA Key using alphanumerics. The Key length should be between 8 to 63 characters long.

5.Press OK.

5.Press the left/right arrow to select the method of WLAN Security you want and press OK.

•None: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s identity and data encryption are not required for your network. Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.

•Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication. Press the left/right arrow to select the setup method you want in Authentication and press OK.

-Open System: Authentication is not used, and encryption may or may not be used, depending on the need for data security. Enter the WEP Key using alphanumeric after select Open System and then press OK.

-SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper WEP key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using alphanumeric after selecting SharedKey and then press OK.

•WPA-PSKor WPA2-PSK:You can select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to authenticate the print server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared secret key (generally called Pre Shared Key passphrase) that is manually configured on the access point and each of its clients. This is suitable for users who want to use WPA but do not have a RADIUS server installed on their network.

a.Press OK when WPA-PSKor WPA2-PSKappears on the bottom line of the display.

b.Press the left/right arrow to select TKIP or AES in Encryption and press OK. If you select WPA2-PSK, press the left/right arrow to select AES or TKIP + AES in Encryption and press OK.
